CHICAGO, Jan. ga desperate attempt
to burn up the Hotel Allen, a small but
tirst-class European hotel, was made at an
early hour this morning by unknown incen-
diaries. The hotel is situated in the heart
of the city. Oh the South side, at the cor
her of Peck's court and State street, and
occupies the two upper floors of third
story, stone-front building. The lower
floor is occupied by a wealthy Italian
named Fred Raglen as a sample bar-room.
He is now travelling in Michigan for his
health, and his son is running the business.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning Patrol
man Fitzgerald while passing noticed a
bright blaze from the bar. Bursting open
the door he found the room filled with
smoke, and flames springing up from differ
ent portions Of the room. The officer
Immediately turned in an alarm, and with
brother patrOlman hastily ran up the main
stairway to the hotel and broke open the
doors Of the guests rooms and succeeded in
rOuSing all the inmates, fifty in number.
By this time the flames had crept to the
second floor and bid fair to destroy the ell
tire building. The fire department arrived
at this time, and after a short fight got the

in the streets, half clad and badly fright
ened, returned to their rooms and bundled
up their effects and left for other quarters.
They were too badly scared to remain. The
fears for repetition of the blaze were well
founded. A hasty investigation disclosed
the fact that large quantities of petroleum
and kerosene had been literally distributed
throughout the building, and that
cotton batting saturated with oil had
been placed in many hooks and out-of-the-
way places of the hotel. The owner of the
building, Mr.. Peabody, and Mr.. allen, of
the hotel, say they are ignorant of the per-
sons who made the attempt to destroy their
property and have no idea why the deed
was done. The property is fully insured.
A damage to the amount of 50, 900 was
sustained. The matter has been placed in
the hands of the police, who will endeavor
TO ferret the incendiaries out. This is the
second attempt to burn a hotel in this city
within the past two months A wholesale
holocaust was narrowly averted in the Con-
tinental hotel fire seven weeks ago. 1t is
thought the incendiarieS are the same in
both instances. Ten rooms were fired at
the same time in the Continental, and it
was due to the heroic attempts of the fire.
men that many lives were not sacrificed.
No arrests were made. although full in
vestigation followed In all probability the
Allen hotel fire investigation will result in
q similar manner.
